I am querying in regards to packages sold by the above under the following names and whether persons or companies on this list have used them. These are as follows: Master Planning Series - 3 Volume set with rate and tariff data on Inter-LATA, Intra-ATA and data communications. ONLY $1,795 Cheap - Right ! X-1 Planning Guide - Condensed version of the above covering only V1 - Inter-LATA. ONLY $365 - Cheap - Right ! Q-Tel 9000/5000/1000 - Database information on rates and services - Price on request - Cheap - Right ! CALL-PRICER - Least Cost Service Program from ONLY $295 to $1,295 It would seem that with all the Unix UUCPing around here that someone on the ARPA/DDN/MILNET and UUCP would already have constantly updated databases for FTPing. Thanks for any info that might be handy.

We took a look at it for a while. It included information on the New Jersey corridor, which according to my best information was thought of but never implemented. It further contained information, for example, on NY intrastate-intralata rates for both ATT and NYNEX. Again according to our best information, only the local operating company is allowed to carry intrastate-intralata calls. Contained no information on LATAs that crossed state lines, etc etc etc. For 1800 dollars they could have done better. >It would seem that with all the Unix UUCPing around here >that someone on the ARPA/DDN/MILNET and UUCP would already >have constantly updated databases for FTPing. We have lots of databases, and information on 30+ carriers. But what is FTPing? rochester \ David Esan | moscom ! de ritcv/ ===============================================================================
